The Blood Debt of Melris
Right, well.
We’ve bought ourselves some time.
Now… let’s buy ourselves some allies!
Not all northmen fear Velsya. I know a certain warlord, Melris Ironspear, who has dared defy her. We aid him, and he’ll owe us a blood debt.
His tribe has been having problems with Orcish raiders – many have burned their villages, and taken what they prize above all – their Skull Tokens.
They are very powerful symbols for our people.
You return them, Melris will have no choice but to help us.
